This is not Selangor we all used to watch

1. What a dismal performance by the red giants boys yesterday? i thought that their defenders were all over the place and looked disjointed. Terrible defending was the root  caused for all 3 goals conceeded.

2. In midfield, Safiq Rahim and K Gurusamy failed to meet the expectation of their international calibre. They can't simply produce that outstanding performance which saw them bring home 2 SEA games gold medal and 1 AFF cup triumph. What is wrong with this Selangor squad?

3. What i can say with my short observation on Selangor struggle is, they need major rebuilding of their current squad. Irfan Bakti inherited a very lame squad that build the game around aging Amri Yahyah, one of the few survivor of Super league winners with K Devan.

4. A towering and more aggresive centre back is needed. Nasriq Bahrom's performance for the past 2, 3 seasons shows that his talent is not going to grow any further. Razman Roslan is another under par performer in Selangor squad. lacking defensive steel and looked very predictable when going forward.

5. The differences between Selangor and those east coast rivals are on the flanks. Irfan don't have the luxury to pick a different set of wingers. The likes of Amirulhadi Zainal, Solehin and Fitri Shazwan are not good enough to give variety in Selangor attack. Lacking in physical attribute and lack of game intelligence saw them always struggle when having possesion of the ball.

6. Lastly, should Amri Yahyah to stay as captain and first eleven starter? I don't think so. Selangor have to find a better, younger goal creator to feed the technically good finisher in Bosko Balaban. Amri days is over. Irfan have to change the core of the team, starting with the dismisal of veteran Amri Yahyah
